Comment Re:A surprisingly high number of good games (Score 1) 106

Valve, together with DXVK, have made significant stride the last few months. It's really astonishing.

In same vein, applications like Lutris and layers like DXVK are really pushing gaming on Linux forward right now.

It's still Linux, so some tweaks are still required, but it's not nearly as cumbersome as it used to be.

Comment Re:No thanks to free stuff (Score 2) 19

Valve is basically funding DXVK, a low-level Vulcan based translation layer for Direct3D 10/11.

Their work with Proton (Steam version of Wine) is amazing and they have made amazing progress the last few months. Thousands of games are now available through "Steam Play" via Proton and DXVK.

Valve isn't making any of those "hentai dating sim visual novels" you speak of.

Comment Re:I was considering getting an iRobot product... (Score 1) 60

I have had iRobot for somewhere around a decade, spanning over 2 vacuum models and a mop cleaner.

I have never used any "app" or had my devices connected to a network.

Isn't this a common trend for "smart" home devices? Just don't use the app or connect the device to the internet.

Even my lawn mower comes with some fancy app that I can control it with, but why would I ever need it? It does its job just fine without ever being connected to anything but its power station.

The point is not having secure passwords, the point is having different passwords for your services.

Your password security is only as secure as where you are using them.

With cloud stored passwords, you can have auto generated arbitrary passwords, each different for each service so in case of a leak, your other services aren't compromised.

Just make sure the password vault is encrypted client side and it should be reasonable secure for "random online stuff".

For banking or high secure requirements, then no. Something involving keys would probably be better.
